History professor’s book wins not one award, but two
History professor Margo Todd has received the Scottish History Book Award from the Saltire Society for her latest book, The Culture of Protestantism in Early Modern Scotland. The award recognizes the year’s best book on Scottish history. This is the second honor Professor Todd has received for her book. Earlier in the year, she received the Longman History Today Prize for book of the year. This award from the publishers of Longman and History Today is for a book that displays innovative research and interpretation and helps make history accessible and rewarding to the general reader.
Professor Todd, who holds a Walter H. Annenberg Chair in History, came to Penn this fall from Vanderbilt University. Her work focuses on early modern English and Scottish history and the culture of reformed Protestantism in Britain and early America. Her other books include Christian Humanism and the Puritan Social Order and Reformation to Revolution: Politics and Religion in Early Modern England.
